DZXL News (558 AM) is a radio station owned and operated by the Radio Mindanao Network. The station's studio is located at the RMN Broadcast Center, Unit 809, 8th Floor, Atlanta Centre, #31 Annapolis Street, Greenhills, San Juan, Metro Manila, while its transmitter is located at Brgy. Taliptip, Bulakan, Bulacan. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]
As of Q4 2022, DZXL is the 4th most-listened to AM radio station in Mega Manila, based on a survey commissioned by Kantar Media Philippines and Kapisanan ng mga Brodkaster ng Pilipinas.
DZXL's coverage of the 2010 Manila hostage crisis was criticized for breaching media ethical standards. An interview conducted with the hostage-taker, Rolando Mendoza, was cited in the Incident Investigation and Review Committee report as having "blocked the negotiators' efforts to stop the hostage-taker from shooting his hostages." DZXL's legal counsel, former senator Nene Pimentel, defended the actions of the media, asserting that they were simply "doing their job". He took exception to the perceived lack of response from the authorities regarding the hostage-taker, noting that the radio station only intervened nine hours after the crisis began. [6]
